People in Gaza have lost faith in humanity, says Palestinian student in Scotland

A PALESTINIAN PhD student living in Scotland has said “a lot of people in Gaza have lost faith in humanity” as he spoke about his family members who are sheltering in the war-torn region.

Almassri said his relatives – including his 58-year-old father, his 53-year-old mother, his four brothers and three sisters – were displaced to a refugee camp in Jabalia, northern Gaza. “It is like hell on Earth every day – and even when you think they have reached a safe haven, it will be very temporary.”He added that his father Hamed is a “very optimistic person” but on a recent phone call, he told him: “I do not see any way out and the outcome will be the killing of all of us and we are just trying to survive until that moment.”

“They are crammed in a classroom in a school with no facilities, they have wait in queues to go to the toilet, the details are very, very bleak.Almassri said he is hoping to evacuate his brother, Ibrahim, 23, from Gaza in order for him to continue his studies in computer engineering.
